Our Excursion Resorts

nc question arises, why are not the
D!elaWare Bay resorts made as attrac-
t'EG rs the resorts upon the Cheso.
Peake Collins Beach. Penn and
woodland Beach can be made as at
lIactiVe and as desirable places of sum
iner resort as Colchester or Bav Viev,
Upon the Chesapeake. Woodland
reacn Is not wanting in native forests
iof picnic groves and the other nIooos
named can be beautified bv art ne U,oII
as other places. Bay View with nroL-
aoiy tue most expensive BUILDINGS ond
uesiSns for pleasure it is true was
made what it is by the Baltimore orJ
ONO Railroad Company. That CON
pany bought the ground and laid
iihe OF tracks to it, advertised and tool
VraVel TO it? Are there no railrooJ
companies in Delaware with ennaI on,
Dltlon Perhaps they are WAITING fa,.
the Baltimore and Ohio to come 5Ionn. ~

Bay View and TOlchester CoiIine,

Rochester and Bay View were obr~r,

SIDES there arc three times as man,, oc
them. Delaware is too far b4bind H. Il
times IN this respect. She has her Re- a
loOoth, with the finest surf batbing in o
